Set the server alias for myspace buddies who haven't set their username.
This just keeps us from showing their less-than-useful user id.
I really feel like myspace buddy names should be their ID#, and we should
set their server alias to either their user name or their display name.
The way we do it now we have to do a LOT of tricks and callbacks and stuff
to lookup the username before adding users to the buddy list. It just
doesn't seem worth it. The server alias exists for a reason.
